    Cassette + Digital Album

    Released in 2015, Tough is a compilation album covering the first ten years of Bubblegum Octopus, entirely comprised of brand new material, old unreleased songs, rarities, remixes, and new arrangements of oldies.

    After two years of requests, this release has been brought to cassette format, for an incredibly limited edition release of only 100 copies, courtesy of neetspeak recordings (neetspeak.bandcamp.com).

    However! This is more than just a rerelease. The cassette version of Tough trades a few tracks in for new material, including an unreleased song from the 2005 8LDM era (with new vocals and production), two tape exclusive arrangements of Tough songs, a new final track soundscape, and of course more adorable artwork from Christine April.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Tough via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

This song was written on a bus and continued while I hung out with Aircraft (who did the cover art) when she worked as a janitor. It uses a lot of heavily manipulated samples from the bus ride, her voice, and noises made by things like brooms.

This song is from the upcoming album, Placate Dreaming, but I've had this recording uploaded on Soundcloud and been playing it live for so long...

lyrics

Every face you see is hollow
Everyone who looks back at you
Just a husk with no real feelings
Just a place holder to make life full
No one here could care about you
No one here could ever hurt you
All alone when you're surrounded
All alone forever, but without peace

Everything is fake
Every face is painted on an empty skull
Everything is fake
Every mind is empty (stop, no control)
Every piece of cake
Every breath of air is just imaginary
Gulp down dreamt up drinks
Talk to your non-player family

How can I talk to anyone
Knowing that they will not not hear me
Shout into a blackened cavern
Reverberant discordance, bounce back to me
Shaking bewildered unnerving
Wondering why I complained before about being lonely
Overwhelm, placatory dreaming
Curious if there is anyone like me!

Everything is fake
Every friend you have is just a damn illusion
Everything is fake
No one here is real, it's just us
Humans: simply dolls
Crafted out of pieces of organic matter
Gods are scientists
Simply programmers making large computations
